Lance Branquinho is an online editor for Media 24 and an avid amateur photographer who vexingly has an intolerable interest in military affairs. He was born in Windhoek, raised in Cape Town and educated at Stellenbosch University. Despite his name and surname he is a coarse Afrikaans speaker. Whilst in the throes of obtaining a Bphil from the University of Stellenbosch post graduate journalism school during 2003, he became increasingly interested in military strategy and media perception, especially on the eve of the Iraq invasion. This subsequently prompted him to delve into the history of South Africa’s Special Forces and their relationship with the local media. Lance lives in Cape Town and enjoys disappearing up the West Coast to surf, photograph and forget things.
